A woman struggled to accommodate her mother-in-law, especially after family members warned her about her. But one incident pushed the woman to the edge to seek revenge, which in turn affected her husband. So the woman wondered if she took things a bit too far.
A Redditor found herself in a sticky situation when she tried to get back at her mother-in-law. She realized that what she did affected her husband, so she turned to other Reddit users to ask for their opinions on the situation.

The Original Poster (OP) revealed that she was a 30-year-old woman married to her 32-year-old husband for five years. The couple met at her husband’s cousin’s party, but she met her mother-in-law at her husband’s uncle’s funeral.
The OP was there in support of her husband, but she was taken aback when his cousin warned her about her mother-in-law. He told her that she was not the nicest person, had ridiculously high standards, and tended to be judgemental. So, the cousin advised her not to take some of her remarks personally.

The wife asked her husband, and he seconded his cousin, but he assured her he would be by her side through everything. However, the OP felt like both her husband and his cousin had downplayed the kind of person her mother-in-law was because she started causing a scene and asking why a stranger was at a family funeral.
The OP’s husband tried to get a handle on the situation by cutting his mother off and telling her that his aunt was fine with him bringing someone. But that only left the wife with ugly stares and passive-aggressive comments from her mother-in-law.
